Harvard Kennedy School Professor Robert Stavins and Professor Daniel Jacob of Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are at the forefront of new efforts to monitor and control methane, a potent greenhouse gas. It used to seem like methane wasn't such a big deal. It was that other climate gas, the one that was the butt of cow flatulence jokes and that only stayed in the atmosphere for a decade or so. But since important global warming targets are now just 7 years away and science has developed a better understanding of both methane's pervasiveness and its potent role in warming the atmosphere, it's now very much on the front burner for increasingly concerned climate policymakers. The good news is that the science of monitoring methane emissions has taken huge leaps forward recently, thanks to advances in supercomputing, weather modeling, and satellite imaging, to the point where we could soon have daily real-time monitoring and measuring of methane emissions around the globe. Our two guests are playing an important role in that effort. Robert Stavins is an economist and the director of the Harvard Environmental Economics Project and the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. Daniel Jacob was named the world's top environmental scientist last year by Research.com and his groundbreaking work has been instrumental in creating methane monitoring systems so precise they can track emissions to a specific company or another individual source—from space. Both say that the need to address the methane issue is urgent and that the countries of the world now have the wherewithal to get methane emissions under control. There are hopeful signs, including a major international agreement called the Global Methane Pledge, but the big question will be whether global leaders have the will to follow through.Robert Stavins is the A.J. Meyer Professor of Energy & Economic Development, Director of Graduate Studies for the Doctoral Programs in Public Policy and in Political Economy and Government, Cochair of the MPP/MBA and MPA/ID/MBA Joint Degree Programs. He is the Director of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program and the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. He is a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a University Fellow of Resources for the Future, former Chair of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Economics Advisory Board, and a member of the editorial councils of scholarly periodicals. His research has examined diverse areas of environmental economics and policy and has appeared in a variety of economics, law, and policy journals, as well as several books. Stavins directed Project 88, a bipartisan effort cochaired by former Senator Timothy Wirth and the late Senator John Heinz to develop innovative approaches to environmental problems. He has been a consultant to government agencies, international organizations, corporations, and advocacy groups. He holds a BA in philosophy from Northwestern University, an MS in agricultural economics from Cornell, and a PhD in economics from Harvard.Daniel Jacob is the Vasco McCoy Family Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Environmental Engineering in the School of Engineering & Applied Science at Harvard University. His research covers a wide range of topics in atmospheric chemistry, from air quality to climate change, and has led the development of the GEOS-Chem global 3-D model of atmospheric composition. In 2022, he won both the Best Scientist Award and the Environmental Sciences in United States Leader Award from Research.com as the top environmental scientist in the world. Jacob has also served as a mission scientist on eight NASA aircraft missions around the world and was awarded NASA's Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2003. Jacob has trained over 100 Ph.D. students and postdocs over the course of his career.  In 1994 he was made a Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU) and was awarded the James B. Macelwane Medal. He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Caltech. Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Public Affairs and Communications is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

Economist and Harvard Kennedy School Professor Joe Aldy says  possibly the most complex—and one of the most existentially important—problems facing humanity is how to pull out the roots of fossil fuel infrastructure that are so deeply embedded in the global economy. The work is complex and the scale is immense; In fact it's been said that transitioning the global economy from fossil fuels to sustainable sources will require the largest reallocation of capital in human history. Meanwhile Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its willingness to weaponize oil and natural gas distribution was a sign to many that the green energy transition will be bumpy and buffeted by geopolitical crises and the domestic politics of countries around the world. Joe Aldy is here to help us swap our rose-colored glasses for a clear-eyed vision of what the future holds for the economics of climate.Joe Aldy is a Professor of the Practice of Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, a University Fellow at Resources for the Future, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Senior Adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He is also the Faculty Chair for the Regulatory Policy Program at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government. His research focuses on climate change policy, energy policy, and regulatory policy. In 2009-2010, Aldy served as the Special Assistant to the President for Energy and Environment, reporting through both the National Economic Council and the Office of Energy and Climate Change at the White House. Aldy was a Fellow at Resources for the Future from 2005 to 2008 and served on the staff of the President's Council of Economic Advisers from 1997 to 2000.

How does mindfulness practice impact us in a business setting? We hear a lot about mindfulness, but how can it be used to better our leadership and management? Today's very impressive and knowledgeable guest, author Latha Poonamallee, shares just that. Latha has an incredible combination of interests and expertise as an academic, author, and tech entrepreneur. She is passionate about radical change towards building a more just, equitable, sustainable, compassionate and prosperous world and her work is certainly reflective of that. Latha's recently published book Expansive Leadership: Cultivating Mindfulness to Lead Self and Others in a Changing World - A 28-Day Program is a structured journey to help aspiring and current leaders to clarify their identities, to identify and reflect on their mental models to become more expansive leaders. In this episode, Latha helps us understand the need for a shift in mental models from being focused on the right behaviors to a self-reflection practice. This shift can lead to impactful change in developing one's emotional intelligence and can give us space to respond rather than react. She emphasizes the importance of moving from individual practice of mindfulness to interpersonal and community practice to come together for the benefit of the community and world at large. I am thrilled to have Latha on A Life and a Living Podcast and hope to ask her back again as this conversation is enthralling.

The Bill Kelly Sghow Podcast: Ontario physicians have been urged to ration one of only two drugs known to reduce mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients, a harbinger of what lies ahead for other provinces if the third wave keeps rising and Canada cannot secure more of the medication. A shortage of the anti-inflammatory drug tocilizumab is just one of the challenges Canadian hospitals face as faster-spreading and more dangerous variants overtake older versions of the coronavirus. British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Ontario all have more COVID-19 patients in their intensive care units than at any other time during the pandemic. GUEST: Kelly Grant, Health Reporter for The Globe & Mail - COVID-19 hospitalizations are climbing, younger patients are filling up intensive care units, and health care staff are in short supply. Jeff Semple reports from the front lines at Toronto’s Humber River Hospital, where variants of concerns are pushing facilities to the brink. GUEST: Jeff Semple, Senior Correspondent for Global National - Vaccine passports are already being used in other parts of the world. In Israel, a “Green Pass” that confirms vaccination status has become an essential passe-partout for daily life, allowing access to gyms, movie theatres, restaurants and other public spaces. Europe, which has fallen behind Canada in the race to vaccinate its population, is a testing ground for myriad new technologies that could be applied in much the same way. Whether we like it or not, experts say, Canada will be pressured into coming up with a system to verify that Canadian travellers have gotten their shots. After decades of government failures in nationalizing and digitizing health data, the development of that system is all but guaranteed to be a logistical nightmare. Its potential applications in a broader post-pandemic world are ethically fraught. And we are already falling behind. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has confirmed Canada is among the countries considering a vaccination requirement for international travellers, as of early April. His health minister, Patty Hajdu, has called it a “very live” issue among G7 nations, and said there will need to be “some consistency and some collaboration” among the countries. GUEST: Scott Gilmore, Editor-At-Large for Macleans and a Senior Fellow with the Munk School Of Global Affairs And Public Policy at the University of Toronto - Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and husband to Queen Elizabeth II, died at the age of 99 on Friday. Philip was a pivotal figure in the British royal family. He was the longest-serving consort to a monarch in British history, having been in the role for more than 60 years. GUEST: Redmond Shannon, Europe Correspondent for Global News - A new survey suggests Canadians aren't very confident in the Canadian military's ability to change its workplace culture following reports of sexual misconduct and discrimination within the forces. According to the latest survey from Nanos Research, just 13 per cent of Canadians are confident the Canadian Armed Forces can “change its workplace to be welcoming to everyone,” while 29 per cent are “somewhat confident” and 56 per cent are either not confident or somewhat not confident. ALSO: Contradictions pile up in the federal government's approach to military misconduct.

The Scott Thompson Show Podcast Ontario is apparently ahead of its vaccination schedule! Scott spoke with Professor Thomas Tenkate about what this means. Guest: Thomas Tenkate, Professor at the School of Occupational & Public Health with Ryerson University - The U.S. government has agreed to loan AstraZeneca vaccines to Canada and Mexico. Guest: Michael Taube, Troy Media Syndicated columnist, Washington Times contributor and former speech writer for Stephen Harper - According to Lt.-Col. Eleanor Taylor, there is a "seething undercurrent of rage" felt among many women in the military, over the growing sense that senior leadership is waiting for the problem of sexual misconduct to simply pass. Guest: Christian Leuprecht, Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University Fellow at the Macdonald Laurier Institute - Michael Spavor faced his trial and left without a verdict. Guest: Charles Burton Senior Fellow with the Centre for Advancing Canada's Interests Abroad at Macdonald-Laurier Institute - Do you feel "politically homeless"? Scott welcomed John Ivison to the show to talk about the state of politics in Canada, how alienated the average citizen feels, and what that might mean in the near future.

And lastly, we will discuss how he believes the shift in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China make it ever more important to remain aware of the pace at which industry and business practices are evolving.For more engaging and inspiring talks like these or if you'd simply like to reach out, visit www.themillennicast.buzzsprout.com.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Officials insist Canada is still on track for 4M Pfizer doses by March despite planning data. Canada will receive hundreds of thousands fewer doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine than previously anticipated, Global News has learned. Also: The latest coronavirus data by Ontario’s COVID-19 science and modelling advisory tables show cases overall are declining, but experts warn public health restrictions should stay in place to counter the “significant threat” that the U.K. variant poses to getting the pandemic under control. GUEST: Tim Sly, Professor Emeritus with the School of Occupational and Public Health at Ryerson University - Retired general Rick Hillier, who is overseeing the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in Ontario, has a new job advising an Ottawa defence company on how to boost their sales internationally. The company says that shouldn’t interfere with the vaccine rollout but some are skeptical. ALSO: The Ontario government has announced it has been reporting an incorrect number of people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, blaming a misinterpretation of the data. GUEST:  Christian Leuprecht, Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University Fellow at the Macdonald Laurier Institute - The Ontario government is taking additional measures to protect farm workers during the pandemic by expanding province wide inspections to farms, greenhouses and other agricultural operations to ensure health and safety measures are being followed. The inspections will focus on locations that employ temporary foreign workers to ensure they are properly protected from COVID-19 through measures. ALSO: Ontario’s Minister of Labour is calling for changes to be made to a federal sick leave program amid criticism from some advocates who say that the Ford government should be the ones to step in to fill the gaps. Monte McNaughton sent an open letter to his federal counterpart on Wednesday identifying a myriad of issues with the Canada recovery sickness benefit, which provides employees who have to miss work due to illness or mandated self-isolation with up to $500 per week for up to two weeks. GUEST: Monte McNaughton, Ontario’s Labour Minister - Government stimulus is, by definition, intended to stimulate economic activity, something that should be welcomed by those who fear loss of their livelihood or economic ruin due to COVID-19. Unfortunately, in the coming years, one unintended consequence of the short-term injection we’ve seen during the pandemic will likely be the hollowing out of the very middle class it sought to protect. GUEST: Doug Hoyes, Finance Expert with Hoyes, Michalos & Associates - Lawmakers push Biden to offer recurring $2,000 stimulus checks White House says Biden will reassess Trump’s Cuba policy Liberal government sings Joe Biden's praises for cancelling U.S. abortion 'gag rule' GUEST: Jennifer Johnson, Washington Correspondent for Global News See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christian Leuprecht, Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University Fellow at the Macdonald Laurier Institute joins the show to discuss why Global Affairs Canada objected to the Canadian military’s decision to cancel training with China’s People’s Liberation Army. Alex also speaks to Mubin Shaikh from Seneca College about the member of the Toronto 18 terrorist plot that won parole, and Alex gets an update from a previous guest that was looking for a kidney.

Alex is joined by Christine Van Geyn, Litigation Director at The Canadian Constitution Foundati onto talk about the legal opposition to shutdowns. She also speaks to Christian Leuprecht, Professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University Fellow at the Macdonald Laurier Institute to talk about what a deal for Meng Wanzhou may mean for the two Canadians stuck in China, and Lorne Small, Medical Director of Infection Prevention & Control Vaccine hesitancy about worry over the coming vaccines.

Dr Don Zoellner, University Fellow at Charles Darwin University, discusses why we should be looking at the role of TAFE and the broader VET sector through the theories of 'delivering public value' and 'institutional logics'. That might sound like a dry topic for a podcast but let me assure it wasn't at all that kind of conversation. With a range of policymakers now identifying flaws in the way the market has been used as a funding construct for VET - I believe Don's views are likely to gain traction.If you care about how VET is funded, the role of the public provider and where private providers can/should sit in a broader view of the role of VET - then do take the time to have a listen. In the podcast Don refers to a paper which he drew on in his presentation to the 2019 TAFE Directors Australia conference. If you would like a copy - please get in touch with either Don or Claire.--------------------------------------The ‘What now?

After coming back from a retreat for Asian American women, I have fostered a deeper appreciation for physical spaces dedicated solely for Asian women. That’s why Dr. Connie Wun is here today to share about her upcoming launch of #ImReady, being held from November 3rd-4th, 2018. She will be sharing how she founded her own organization for AAPI women as the director of AAPI Women Lead, “an intergenerational organization that strengthens the social and political power of AAPI communities through the leadership of AAPI Women-identified, women and girls in solidarity with other communities of color.” “The #ImReady Movement aims to strengthen the progressive political and social platforms of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the US through the leadership of self-identified AAPI women and girls.  Our goal is to challenge and help end the intersections of violence against and within our communities. We do this work in solidarity with other communities of color. The #ImReady Movement raises visibility around self-identified AAPI women and our experiences with #MeToo, racial discrimination, war, immigration, and more. It also celebrates the leadership and power of AAPI women in Education, Business, Technology, and Politics. At the conferences, we bring together AAPI women leaders and our supporters to learn from one another, tell our stories, and to highlight our diverse leadership stories. We invite you to join us to better understand the complex Asian and Pacific Islander diasporas, histories, and experiences. We invite you to come honor the stories and leadership of our communities. We are bringing together some of the most brilliant people to explore what it means to be a self-identified AAPI woman in the United States. We know you are one of them.” Connie Wun, Ph.D., is co-founder of AAPI Women Lead, a non-profit organization that helps to support the progressive social and political platforms of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the U.S through the leadership of self-identified women and girls. She has spent the last 20 years dedicating her work to ending violence against women and girls of color as a professor, high school teacher, organizer and activist, and mentor. She is also the founder and director of Transformative Research, a consultancy that conducts and trains organizations on community-driven research and data analysis. Her work is informed by her experiences of being born in Oakland, CA, raised throughout working class communities of color in the Bay Area, and as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees. Dr. Wun is currently a Visiting Scholar in the Women and Gender Studies Department at San Francisco State University. She is a former National Science Foundation Fellow, American Association of University Fellow, UC Berkeley Chancellor's Fellow, Mills College Research at the Intersections Fellow, and EdTrust-West Fellow. Some of her publications can be found on Truth-out.org and Feminist Wire as well as in Critical Sociology; Journal of Educational Policy; Race, Ethnicity and Education; and book anthologies on race, gender, school discipline and violence. Dr. Wun received her PhD from the Graduate School of Education at UC Berkeley.

This week, we're presenting stories about leaving home in pursuit of science. Part 1: After being raised as a creationist, Jennifer Colbourne falls in love with evolutionary science. Jennifer Colbourne is a graduate student at York University where she is currently researching raccoon intelligence. She is interested in how animals are adapting to cities, and how to improve animal-human interactions in the urban environment. Part 2: Herman B. White leaves his hometown of Tuskegee behind to pursue physics -- but his Alabama roots help him make a surprising connection later in his career.  Herman B. White, Jr. is a Senior Scientist having served Fermilab for over 43 years in leadership roles and research on nearly a dozen experiments covering, Neutrino, Muon, and Kaon physics and projects in accelerators and particle beams. For decades, he has worked to communicate important decisions about physical science research to the U. S. Congress, agencies in Washington and the world, including service on advisory panels for the Energy Department (HEPAP), National Science Foundation, NASA, the National Academies, the African School of Fundamental Physics and Applications, and APS. He was a Resident Research Associate in Nuclear Physics at Argonne National Laboratory for a period in 1971, a Sloan travel fellow at CERN during part of 1972, a University Fellow at Yale from 1976-78, and received his Ph.D. from Florida State University. Among his recognitions, for his contributions to Kaon Physics and the establishment of a new kind of interaction distinguishing matter from antimatter, he received the (APS), American Physical Society, Edward A. Bouchet Award in 2010.  His life story recorded in 2006 by the HistoryMakers organization in Chicago, was made a part of  the HistoryMakers Video Oral History Archives currently included in the USA Library of Congress permanent repository.

The great leadership gurus usually tell a story of virtue rising to the top. They advise us to think positive, treat everyone with respect, and follow our moral compass. But we don’t have to look far to see leaders who turn this wisdom on its head. Negativity, disrespect, and divisiveness seem to be the order of the day. Were the experts wrong? Is good leadership dead? Surely there must be a more realistic way to understand the whims of the masses—and make straight their path once more. In this episode, we get a more realistic take on leadership from the contrarian guru Rob Asghar. Mr. Asghar is a special advisor to the president of the University of Southern California, a University Fellow at USC’s Center on Public Diplomacy, and a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy. He is the author, most recently, of the book USC: A Transformation, 2010-2015, and before that, he authored the book Leadership Is Hell: How to Manage Well and Escape with Your Soul.
